A Fun Romp
I personally did not think the movie was as strong as the other three, but it is still enjoyable. Captain Jack is funny and witty as always. I liked the plot twist of Barbossa being in the Royal Navy. Ian McShane was fantastic as Blackbeard. He was ruthless and unforgiving, and the Queen Anne's Revenge is an awesome ship. I wished they'd utilized that ship more. The fresh perspective on mermaids gave the script a jolt. The mermaid scene was my favorite scene of the entire movie. Penelope Cruz was all right. I didn't think her character was very well developed, though. What I missed most was the camaraderie the crew had in the other films. I missed Cotton and Mary and the others. I also felt like this script had several plot holes. Of course, you could argue that all these films have sizable plot holes. All in all, it's a fun romp. Captain Jack is worth the ticket price alone, in my opinion. Of course, I'm a Captain Jack junkie.
